Today’s pull from Georgie’s Magic Card Collection is another new one. It’s I Tarocchi Dei Gatti Bianchi, or The Tarot of White Cats, by Sofia di Vincenzo and Severino Baraldi. It was published by Lo Scarabeo in 2023.
5 Points About This Deck
- Theme: It’s a cat themed deck, and as a Leo I approve. You might catch a glimpse of a few other species, but this is definitely a deck of cats, most of them white.
- 8/11: The Tarot of White Cats numbers Justice as #8, and Strength as #11 following the Thoth and Marseille sequencing.
- Tarot Style: Other than the 8/11 numbering mentioned above, The Tarot of White Cats is very much a Rider-Waite-Smith clone. The images each tell their own clear story, and if you’re familiar with the RWS deck, you’ll have no trouble understanding the main concepts in this one.
- Languages: My copy is from Italy, so that’s why it’s titled I Tarocchi Dei Gatti Bianchi, but being a Lo Scarabo release, the guide book has instructions in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. The titles on the cards are also in all six languages.
- Artwork: Adorable, bright, cheery, and cute. It’s an RWS clone, but it’s sweeter, pinker, and has a lot more cats.
If you like cats, you’ll probably like this deck. I sure do.
